Tine to get on the road and check out literary life in Wyoming!

Calling all Wyoming authors and literary entities! Join the new Wyoming Literary Map, a crowdsourced digital repository of literary contacts, organizations, and resources created to foster a vibrant statewide community of writers.

The map is an opportunity for you to get the word out about your work to local, statewide, and national audiences. Check out the map and add yourself today at bit.ly/WYLitMap

The Wyoming Literary Map was created by Jackson Hole Writers in collaboration with Wyoming Writers Inc., the Wyoming Center for the Book, the Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival, and the Jackson Hole Book Festival. The project was made possible in part by grants from Wyoming Humanities and the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources.
